Dear All, it is a pleasure to announce the
Summer School on “Replicability crisis in science?” University of Padova, Italy, 18-22 September 2023
The school is open to 30 Ph.D or Master students, no fees are required, but registration is mandatory. Lectures will be delivered in English.
Main Lecturers: Prof. Giovanni Parmigiani, Department of Data Science, Dana Farber Cancer Institute, Harvard University, USA (https://scholar.harvard.edu/parmigiani) Prof. Branden Fitelson, Department of Philosophy and Religion, Northeastern University, USA (https://cssh.northeastern.edu/faculty/branden-fitelson/)
Course Outline: The main objective of the Summer School is to offer to a well-motivated small group of young people starting their scientific research journey an opportunity for high-level interdisciplinary training on crucial issues arising from the recent debate concerning the crisis of replicability in scientific research. The school will provide a broad and interdisciplinary view, as well as the tools that may enable individual participants to focus on specific aspects of replicability that are relevant to their own discipline of interest. Activities will include both main lectures and lab sessions for Master and Ph.D. students coming from different countries. The lectures will offer to participants a set of theoretical and applied tools to conduct and critically evaluate rigorous research. In workshop activities, students will have the opportunity to discuss the topics with both teachers and peers in order to overcome traditional boundaries between statistics and philosophy and other sciences as well as to stimulate innovative research hypotheses and international collaborations.
